In this episode of Breaking Down I.T. with Steve, we tackle that alarming little notification everyone dreads: "Your Password Has Been Compromised."
Owner Steve Shaff breaks down exactly what this Google pop-up means, why it appears, and—most importantly—what immediate steps you need to take to secure your accounts.
We dive deep into the world of passwords, covering:
The Anatomy of a Compromise: How did your password end up on the Dark Web, and how does Google know?
The Immediate Action Plan: What you should do the instant you see that alert (Hint: it involves more than just changing the single compromised password).
Best Practices for Business: Why using unique passwords and a Password Manager is non-negotiable for business security.
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): We reinforce why MFA is your ultimate lifeline and how it makes even a compromised password useless to a hacker.
Tune in to stop guessing about your security and start using passwords the right way!
